Washington Weather Forecast for Climbers

(Click image)

•

My friends Luca and Ephrat have created a wonderful mountain weather matrix which shows the 5-day NOAA point forecast for various locations in the US. As they are Californians, they mostly have CA locations, HERE. Since I cannot run .php on googlesites, they have generously created a PNW-oriented version HERE, for which I provided the data points for various climbing locations in Washington. This is very handy for seeing multiple weather forecasts all at once to help choose the weekend climbing destination. Gone are the days of obsessive refreshing of a slew of NOAA point forecast tabs!

Quick Link to Night Photography

Here's a quick link to my page on night photography, which gives lots of photos as well as a technical discussion on the physics of night photography.

• Photoset 16 (03/08/12)

Clouds muted the morning sunlight as we flew around the north sides of Mt. Redoubt and Bear Mountain. Just after an aerial tour of the wintery Picket Range, the sun rose above the clouds and we were surrounded by snowy summits bathed in golden light. We flew circles around Mt. Despair, Mt. Triumph, and Bacon Peak. We also spotted and photographed some recent slab avalanches. Then we continued onward towards Eldorado, where winds swirled snow around the summit. We finished our photography aims with some fly-bys of Hidden Lake Lookout.
